Dinner with A Scientist


Several years ago Kit, my oldest daughter, and I went out on a date. We went to a movie and then out for pizza--just the two of us. During dinner we had the following conversation:
"Dad, did you know I'm a scientist?"
I replied, "You know, I've heard that about you--that you're a scientist"
"Well dad I've been thinking about the moon. And you know how some scientist think the moon is made out of rock?"
"Yes, you know I've heard that scientist think the moon is made out of rock"
"Well dad, since I'm a scientist too, I don't think the moon is made of rock"
"Really, well what is the moon made of if not out of rock?"
Kit leaned across the table and replied;
"The moon is made of cheese Dad"
"Oh! Well what kind of cheese?"
and in a serious manner she replied,
"Mexico cheese Dad; the moon is made of Mexico Cheese"

Sweetheart you know what the moon is made of and how too keep a smile on dad's face.
When you look up to the sky and see the sun, moon and stars--the whole heavenly creation [do not worship or serve them] for the Lord your God has assigned them to all the people of the world.
Deut 4:19
